About this listen

 In the second episode of the series Luisa Conti and Fergal Lenehan, from the Centre for Digital Interculturality Studies, talk to Nathalie Fridzema from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and Anyja Shchetvina from the Humboldt University of Berlin in Germany. Nathalie and Anyja are PhD scholars and historians of the Internet, who presented a paper at the ReDICo-Conference in June 2025 called “Nostalgia, DIY and Internet Critique: The Emergence of the Vernacular Web as an Imaginary of Alternative Digital Futures.” The conversation touches on the vernacular web and what exactly this is, platforms dealing with the past of the Internet such as the Yesterweb, and the nostalgia-tinged imagining of Internet futures.
